Pros

Used to have a good reputation, big company, pays well

Cons

Discriminating despite all their words about diversity. Discriminating on different cultures and status, having a family is not in, certainly not applying for unpaid parental leave. Collegues ready to put a knife in your back. They steal prospects from you while you are on holiday. No team spirit, it is you against everyone. Unhealthy work environment. Don't try a dialogue about it, this will just ensure that they try to get rid of you.

Dear Former Colleague, Thank you for taking the time to provide your candid feedback. We are disappointed that you didn’t have a positive experience during your time at Mercer. We know from our colleagues that the work they do and the colleagues they work with are the things they value the most. We are sorry to hear your experience was not reflective of our culture values which are so important to us. Mercer strongly agree that ensuring we have a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential and we take this seriously. There are business resource groups, including one which focuses on race and ethnicity, in the UK and globally who look at specific aspects of inclusion within our workforce. Our D&I Council bring these agendas together and ensure alignment with wider business strategy. We have D&I champions in every UK office. We actively consider the diversity of our candidates and how we align our teams together. Mercer also offer agile working, with family friendly policies, which many of our colleagues value.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
